Prompt Unlo aiding of Cars.

s. Fl. Church, superin tendent of transporta-
ton of all the Pennsylvania lines west of Pitts
burg, including the j., NJ & l. and thesL & V,
has undertaken to bring about a matter of re-
form in the matter of loading and unloading
crop is moving. In his circular he says: .The
personal attention of every agent is called the
necessity of having promptly handled at
stations, in order get the best possible service
out of them. The prospect is that the grain
movement this year, which has already begun,
wall be unusually heavy, and agents must
understand that there will be base
of supplies from which cars can be furnished
for their stations, except only as they are I'M
shippers and consgnees personally at frequent
intervals, and take pains to explain to them the
reason why it will be out of the question to per-
NIT them to for the purpose OF
storing their freight. When cars ordered
by shippers who fail to load .heir freight within
reasonable time after the is placed-say
twenty four bours-either report the car to the
division superintendent as empty, or turn 1t
over to some other shipper at your station.
Agents will report promptly to the division
superintendent whenever freight is arriving at
their stations in larger quantities than can
be promptly handled by the conslgnees, So that
thls Office may receive information of the fact,
and hold back further shipments thus avoiding
ray undue accumulation of cars. Freight in
airs belonging to these lines should be trans
ferIed to cars of connecting roads at terminal
and Junction points, where it be transferred
economically, and without iuj Jury to the freight.
But TINS should be done only after full under
standing with the division superintendent 1t is
only by giving unremitting attention to this
matter that the full use of our equipment NAV
be made availIble. and each agent is urged to
treat this question IN all Its phases a subject

Paving Commissiona

The passenger men seem to be much at
variance as ever over the right of roads to pay
commissions and Of agents to receive them
There is a feeling that the recent decision of the
Interstate Commission settled nothing, or at
least did not settle the most vital questions Es-
pecaly do the agents of the roads which are
ooycatted complain that roads which pay COM
missions, and are their competitors, are not boy
sotted. They feel that this Is unjust The
ground on which the interstate commissioners
have decided against the Chicago Il Alton and
Chicago, Rock Island g. Pacific roads in the
matter Of their standing out for the right to pay
commissions to ticket agents in the East is this:

The opening Of the annual fur sales
Of this company IN London recently
gave promise of higher prices for furs
and larger profit for stockholders.
The opening sales were those of beay-
er furs, and in the course of the first
day an advance of % per cent in
prices was reached. Last year prices
ranged Is per cent. in advance of the
preceding year. and the recent ad-
vance consequently places prices 81
per cent. ahead of those ruling two
years ago. In connection with the
advance it is stated that private stocks
Of furs are very small everywhere.
The catch made by the company dur
ing the year was fully up to the aver
age. Under the circumstances the
prospects Of large dividends to stock
holders are encouraging, The follow

Two striking features viii be OBJ

extreme fluctuations both Of the pro
fits on furs and the dividends paid !;
the other, the close correspondence
between the two sets OF fluctuations
The dividends rise or fall almost step
by step with the results Of the fur
sales. The Hudson Bay Company's
capital, as given by the London f
HaEcidI Meas. Is divided into 100000
shares, and every $4,000 of profit
earned means a shilling of dividend,
allowing about Is per cent. for ex-
penses. In 1888 81 the company had
